　　If you’ve tried studying when you’re tired, you know that it can seem very impossible to do well.

　　A study of sleep in sparrows suggests the relationship between sleep and the ability to learn may be more complicated(復雜) than people knew.

　　Niels C•Rattenborg, a scientist from Wisconsin-Madison, wanted to find out how the sparrows were able to deal with getting so much less sleep. He and his team brought eight wild birds into a lab and watched them for one year. They invented a game to check ho w well the birds could learn. In the game, the sparrows had to peck(啄)three buttons (按鈕)in a right order to get a food treat. The scientists discovered that the birds’ ability to learn the right button order depended on(依靠)two things: the time of year and the amount of sleep the birds had had.

　　During the migration(遷徙)season, the sparrows were restless at night and got much less sleep than usual. Even so, they were able to understand how to get the food quickly as if they’d had a regular night of sleep. Outside the migration season, they found the sparrows that got less sleep than usual had much more difficulty learning how to get the food treats than birds that had a regular sleep.

　　The results show that the sparrows can deal with much less sleep during the migration season than usual. If scientists can find out why, they may learn from sparrows and find ways of helping people deal with getting much less sleep. Until scientists fully understand the relationship between sleep and learning, it’s better to get plenty of sleep when preparing for an exam.

　　( )31.The passage is mainly about .

　　A. sparrows’ migration.

　　B. sleep lessons from Sparrows.

　　C. how to get less sleep while studying

　　D. how sparrows that got less sleep get food treats

　　( ))32.Why can sparrows get much less sleep during the migration season?

　　A. They eat more. B. The climate is better

　　C. They can get food quickly D. Scientists still don’t know the reason.

　　( )33. What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

　　A. We should sleep as little as sparrows do.

　　B. We should get enough sleep before an exam.

　　C. When tired, we should try to focus on(聚焦) our study.

　　D. When tired, we should check how we can sleep less than usual.

　　D

　　When something becomes fashionable very quickly , we say that it’s a “craze”. The latest

　　craze is sometimes a style of clothes or a hairstyle. Sometimes it is a game or a TV programme.

　　In the 20th century a lot of crazes started in the USA and then became popular in the USA and

　　then became popular in other parts of the world. American youth culture has spread through tourism , TV , films, magazines and music videos.

　　One of the biggest crazes was the hula hoop(呼啦圈). Hula hoops are not popular now, but

　　in the1950s they were a sensation. An American company called Wham-O started to make plastic(塑料的)hoops toys, and in the USA the company sold 100 million hoops in a year.

　　Frisbees(飛盤)were another Wham-O product(產品). Some people say that the idea

　　started in the factory of the Frisbee Baking Company in Connecticut. Workers there threw metal

　　pans to each other during their breaks. Two businessmen made a plastic type of the flying pans,

　　and sold their products to Wham-O. They became a big business.

　　So businesses usually help to produce a craze. Yoyos were another example. In the Philippines, where its name means “comeback”, the yoyo was a popular toy in the 1920s. But

　　it didn’t become a global (世界性的) craze until an American called Donald Duncan bought the

　　idea and sold it to the world. Around 100 million people bought yoyos in 1962 and 1963.

　　Most crazes come and go, but sometimes they survive. When the big skateboard started in

　　California in 1965, many parents and governments said that the boards were dangerous, and they

　　were not allowed in some areas. But the boards became popular again and they are still an important part of youth culture today.

　　( )34. What is a “craze” ?
